Head
Lights Flashing
Q: When I drive down the road the headlights
on my car flash on and off. Any tips on what the problem might be?..Meme
A: I'm
willing to bet coffee that the problem you are having is with an American
built vehicle. In addition, the flashing headlights occurs most often
while driving with the high beams on. The headlight switch on most American
built vehicles and some imports have a circuit breaker in the headlight
switch. This circuit breaker is like a fuse; designed to protect the wiring
in the event of the electrical short. But, the circuit breaker has a self
re-setting feature. Most of the time the flashing headlights are caused
by a tired circuit breaker. The fix is a replacement headlight switch.
